Space Prospector is a flying exploration game focused on collecting jewels and golden coins, then carrying them back to your base. Jewels are worth different amounts depending on their hue, while delivering a golden coin doubles the points you have already accumulated. Careful flying and thoughtful choices about when to refuel or repair can help you earn a higher score in each stage.
How Space Prospector scoring works
Your main goal is to gather valuable objects and safely bring them to the base. Each delivered jewel adds points according to its color. Since the exact value depends on the jewel’s hue, collecting different jewels can contribute different amounts to your score.
Golden coins have a special scoring effect: once a coin is delivered to the base, your previously accumulated points are multiplied by two. This makes coins especially valuable after you have already collected points from jewels.
- Collect jewels: Their point values depend on their hue.
- Return them to base: Delivery is part of the objective, so plan your route around bringing collected items back.
- Deliver golden coins: Each delivery doubles the points accrued up to that point.
Space Prospector controls
On a computer, the keyboard controls move the ship vertically and horizontally. The left and right keys activate the shunting engine to glide in the chosen direction. The up key and space key both activate the primary engine to ascend.
- Left key: Activate the shunting engine and glide left.
- Right key: Activate the shunting engine and glide right.
- Up key: Activate the primary engine and ascend.
- Space key: Activate the primary engine and ascend.
On mobile devices, use the virtual buttons displayed on the touchscreen. Before setting out to collect items, take a moment to identify the controls and check how the ship responds. This can make it easier to steer accurately while carrying cargo.
Managing fuel, repairs, and your route
The points you earn can be used to refuel the ship and carry out repairs. These resources support continued exploration, so consider your ship’s condition and fuel needs as you decide what to collect and when to return. A practical approach is to prioritize a safe route back to base rather than focusing only on gathering more items.
Because coin delivery multiplies your existing score, collecting jewels before delivering a coin may increase the value of the points you have already earned. Keep in mind that the game’s objective is to maximize your score at each stage, so balance collection with returning to base and maintaining the ship.
Make the most of each stage
For a strong run, learn the movement controls, gather jewels with different hue-based values, and include golden coins in your collection plans. Use earned points for fuel and repairs when needed, and make returning to base part of your strategy. With measured flying and attention to scoring, Space Prospector gives you a clear challenge: bring valuable finds home and build the highest possible stage score.
